You normalize auto deaths per mile traveled, or per capita, etc in order to eliminate discrepancies when comparing groups that might have different sized populations or different amount of car travel.
But nearly every other similar country to the U.S. does not have any meaningful gun deaths, so there’s no need to normalize because there’s no one else to compare to.
- refurb 3y agoNo meaning full gun deaths? Canada has around 300 per year and it’s slowly going up. Adjusted for population, that would be around 4000 per year in the US. I’d say that’s a meaningful number even if the US reduced gun deaths to be on par with other developed countries. That’s about the same number of people who die each year due to chronic kidney disease.
